Re: Social media apps

WhatsApp - its basically texting but uses your phones data instead of text. I find this is great for group messages.

Slack - it's a cross between Facebook messenger and WhatsApp. You invite people to a chat feed via email and then within that big feed you can have small specific chats.

Twitter - I just like to tweet things and it's fun following celebrities.

Instagram - Twitter but for photos and short videos.

and of course Facebook

You can also just use Facebook messenger without using Facebook as whole which is helpful, I have a few study groups chats on Facebook messenger but I don't actually have the people as friends on Facebook.

At the end of the day it's what works for you and what you feel meets your requirements.

Re: Social media apps

I argee those apps suck @BunnyWalks. I try to keep contact through phone numbers but if everyone is using Facebook you don't want to be left out etc. The only reason why I have 'social media' is to keep in touch with those I don't have numbers for. I never post anything on them.

Is it realistic to stop using these apps? Yes and no. Yes if everyone you know is not using it and no if everyone know you is using it. And if you're into privacy then What's App is the way to go because they don't store your messages and everything is encrypted I believe.

Re: Social media apps

I know this is hard to believe but everyone is not lying to you on Instagram, people just let people see what they want people to see and therefore don't post the bad parts of their lives. An important thing to remember is that yes their lives might look perfect from the photographs but I guarantee you that their lives are not always like what is shown.
